About PFCS
From the Director
Personal & Family Counseling Services of Tuscarawas Valley, Inc. (PFCS) touched 5,579 lives in fiscal year 2009. The number of lives touched was significantly greater than past years. The increase in families seeking services of PFCS reflects the needs of families struggling with financial, emotional, social and other issues that impact their lives.
At a time when needs are greater than ever, PFCS faced flat and/or decreased funding for the programs and services it provides to families. The Board of Directors approved a new strategic plan in 2009 that will, for the next five years, provide the direction for the growth of the agency.
One of the plan initiatives is the development of an auxiliary that would assist with raising money to help PFCS in sustaining current programs. A wonderful group of volunteers has come together to become the founding members of the PFCS Auxiliary. Their vision came as a result of their first project that was a canister campaign at local businesses "CHANGE CAN HAPPEN". The mission of the Auxiliary summarizes the core values of PFCS. Individuals and families come to us because they want their lives to change for the better.
It is a privilege to be part of an agency where everyday we see lives changed by the services provided by the highly skilled and dedicated staff. The staff of PFCS makes good things happen in the lives of individuals and families every day. At times they seem to move mountains to make change happen for families and give them hope.
Families have counted on PFCS for forty years and despite difficult economic times, they can count on us in the future. The PFCS Auxiliary exemplifies our philosophy, "CHANGE CAN HAPPEN."
We look forward in 2010 to continuing to serve families facing challenges in their lives. Good things will continue happening every day at PFCS as "CHANGE CAN HAPPEN."
